At a Tuesday night ceremony in Houston, the Michelin Guide unveiled its latest list of top Texas restaurants. This year, 140 establishments received honors, including 18 that earned a coveted Michelin star. No Austin restaurants took home any of the three new Michelin stars handed out to Texas restaurants, though all seven restaurants that received a star in 2024 retained their honors, as did last year’s 15 area Bib Gourmand restaurants.
It’s only the second year Michelin has evaluated Texas dining, following the guide’s debut last fall. In its first year, Michelin highlighted 117 restaurants and awarded stars to 15. About 500 hospitality industry professionals attended the second annual gala, which was marked by far fewer awards than the French-based guide’s inaugural event in Houston last year.
Michelin’s stars represent its highest distinction, with restaurants able to earn up to three. However, for both this year and last, no Texas establishment received more than one. The guide also highlights Bib Gourmand restaurants, which serve excellent meals at a reasonable price, and features “recommended” spots that deliver high-quality dining but fall just short of star status.
Here are the 18 restaurants in Texas that earned a Michelin one star.
